T-Wolves Bounce Back

Prep basketball

Call it your everyday 36-point turnaround.

Trailing by 15 points seconds into the second half in Coeur d’Alene, the Lake City High boys basketball team rebounded to a 74-53 victory over Clarkston in a Border League game that was a contest of two starkly opposite halves.

Clarkston did whatever it wanted in the first half. The Bantams made 16 of 28 shots from the field, including five uncontested layups.

But the second half belonged to the Timberwolves.

LC (4-2 overall, 3-1 league) was as hot in the second half as it was lifeless in the first. The T-Wolves made 19 of 31 shots from the field in the final two quarters, 11 of 18 in the third period.

Leading the offensive turnaround was 6-foot-6 junior wing Matt Dlouhy. After making just 3 of 11 shots in the first half, he fired in 7 of 11 the final two quarters, including two ally-oop dunks. He finished with a season-high 25 points.
